BEWARE! My wife and I did not retain Mr. Smith as our realtor, but he was the listing agent on a property we were about to purchase. While we had excellent credit and a great reviewed lender, he insisted that we use a «local lender,» which is ludicrous. Our chosen lender was in Houston, Texas and offered us the best rate. Whatever his motivations, he had no business pressuring us into a different lender simply because he didn’t know them. He also wanted a fee, FROM THE LENDER, for each day past closing. The lender is not in privity of contract with the seller, so that demand made no sense; he just wanted to scare our lender away. We ignored him, used the lender and signed the contract. The sellers signed as well, and then he once again insisted on a local lender, saying our lender would hold up closing. We ended up rescinding the contract and walked away. I have no doubt that he would have found a way to delay closing himself and would have asked for a penalty from us or the lender. I feel bad for the sellers, because I find it hard to believe they would have pressured us into a local lender; they just wanted to sell at a fair price. He does not appear to have his clients’ interests in mind, but will seek any financial advantage he can get.

As a potential client recently looking for housing options I have found that Kyle Smith is very astute when listening to my needs and realistic about my options when looking for a place that best suits my needs. He never leaves me hanging when I have questions. He is very knowledgable and experienced in many aspects of the real estate business. I trust him completely with the logistics of my transactions. I will be narrowing down my options soon and will definitely be using him as my realtor in the near future.

Our Realtor, Doc Deason, was there throughout the process, which took 6 weeks. He came up with good referrals as needed for inspections, mortgaging, etc. and always responded quickly to our questions and concerns.

This is the 2nt property I’ve bought in Tyler TX and Kyle Smith has represented me on both occasions. You could not ask for a better person like Kyle smith, He’s a true professional that really knows his business. I would strongly recommend him to anyone buying or selling property …
